Episode 366
“Then go on vacation and take care of it when you come back.”
Aveiro answered with a smile.
“No. I’ll take care of it before I go on vacation.”
As I keep mentioning, Aveiro is trustworthy. It’s comforting to have such a loyal friend around you.
Aveiro, as always, was looking at me with awe in his eyes.
I ended up turning my head away from those overly hot gazes.
There our teacher was looking at me with similar eyes, but this time he smiled back.
[Why are you laughing so grumpily?]
“The teacher’s gaze was even more disgusting.”
Our teacher burst into laughter and hit me on the head.
I like this kind of time too. It’s so leisurely and peaceful.
I don’t know how long this will last, but where can I find such peace?
Aveiro asked me that.
“My lord, are you going to Ascension now?”
I thought about Aveiro’s words for a moment.
Ascendable.
I guess I have to go.
I’ve sent Harold and Hammer to the Ascendible lodge, and now I need to take Aveiro to talk about the railroad project, but there’s still work to be done.
Of all places, this is Wangseong.
There is one thing that needs to be finished here now.
In some ways, the order may be a little wrong.
Something that should have happened before destroying Teslan.
This is something I couldn’t do in my previous life, but something I definitely wanted to do in this life.
“Where is he?”
“Who are you talking about?”
“Magyar Teslan.”
Aveiro flinched and trembled.
The situation was so natural that I noticed it too late.
If Tesla is destroyed, then naturally everyone who uses Tesla’s name should die as well.
Then he slowly lowered his head.
“He is being held captive in the annex outside the palace.”
“okay?”
“Yes. I will guide you.”
He nodded slightly.

The intelligent being always regrets.
What if it had been like this at that time?
I wonder what it would have been like if we had done it like this back then.
At that time… … At this time… … .
There was not a single exception to that.
Jack Valanti, who is currently considered the pinnacle of the continent, also regretted it, and his teacher, Valentine Milos, also regretted it.
It was an instinct as an intelligent being, a law that was beyond help.
That part also includes Magyar Teslan, the former king of the Teslan Kingdom.
An annex located on the outskirts of the kingdom.
They say it’s the outskirts, but in reality it was almost like a remote place, and in reality, these places were where illegitimate children who were not even recognized by the palace, or the mothers of such illegitimate children, lived.
Mazar Teslan, who had been there for several months, thought about it for a very long time.
Why did it turn out like this?
Why am I here?
Usually, when a situation gets to its worst, we reflect.
I regret and repent.
If you have a good head on your shoulders, you would have thought about it carefully and eventually realized what you did wrong.
Surely everyone regrets it. Mazar Teslan is one of them, but a little different.
Regret becomes resentment and screams. Mazar Teslan became angry because he did not understand the situation.
I screamed inside.
‘I am of the bloodline of the founding king.’
‘You shouldn’t be in a place like this.’
‘I will definitely get out of here and punish those who imprisoned me here.’
If someone were to ask how he would condemn, Mazar would answer like this.
‘I don’t know.’
Said.
The following premise underlies this way of thinking.
‘If I get out of here, I can do anything.’
It was a vain hope.
A typical example of the foolish and pathetic people who do not repent was now being shown by Mazar Teslan.
In fact, it was because he was that kind of man that things got to this point.
It wasn’t just the Magyars. His ancestors’ ancestors, and their ancestors’ ancestors.

Everything is inevitable. If he had been truly normal, smart, and intelligent, the empire called Tulcan would not have run wild.
If Tulkan hadn’t gone mad, Teslan wouldn’t have been ruined. The monster called Jack wouldn’t have been born.
The annex where he stays.
The door to the bedroom of the Magyar inside slowly opened.

Mazar, sitting on the bed and turning his head with bloodshot eyes, froze in place for a moment.
“… …Jack, Valantier?”
And the doll sitting on his shoulder.
Rumor has it that the doll is the past hero Valentine Milos.
A lot of thoughts went through my mind.
How can I make that doll cute?
How can I get that hero on my side?
Is there no other way?
And then it froze.
Because Jack Valantier’s gaze was cold, but the gazes of the heroes of the past were colder.
Those were the eyes that showed us the true reality that we were not aware of, or rather, that we wanted to ignore.
Magyar’s head becomes dizzy.
The doll, she said.
[Julius said this before he locked me up. He said he would continue my legacy.]
She climbed down from Jack’s shoulders.
[I asked, is that really the best?]
She takes a step.
[At that time, the nobles who had been liberated from the foreign race and had joined Julius, that is, the powerful people, were spreading malicious rumors about me throughout the continent. I did not know that Julius was behind it. That is why I asked. Was that the best?]
Valentine walked in the body of a doll.
I walked and walked.
[Originally, humans didn’t fear me. They knew that I was the one who created the human world. But rumors are truly scary.]
It was all true. Not a single exaggeration.
This is the truth from 400 years ago.
[I, who had been distracted and focused all my attention on the construction of the Academy and the creation of internal laws, was able to realize, albeit belatedly, that the name ‘Valentine Milos’ had already changed from a hero to a monster that even humans feared.]
Valentine looked up at Mazar, who was sitting on the bed with his small body resting only on his butt.
[Julius answered my question of whether it was the best. It was definitely the best, that he wanted to get out of my shadow. He said that he would make me his ‘enemy’ and banish me, so that he could stand alone on the continent.]
“… … .”
[Julius said that when it was over, he would definitely come back and atone for his sins with his life, so please wait, that he loved me, so please give me a chance. His expression was firm, but his heart was wavering.]
Valentine can see right through people. It’s not some kind of superpower or anything. It’s an experience.
I could sense Julius’s lie. I’ve never had a physical relationship. I wanted to give my first time to someone who was truly precious to me.
Julius lied a lot. He kept giving him chances. He gave him chances then too.
[Do you know why I didn’t kill Julius on the spot?]
“… … I don’t know. I didn’t live in those times.”
[Yes, that’s right. I’ll finish. There were many who feared me. Even Arthur Gunnar, the last emperor of the Gunnar Empire, was one of them.]
Arthur Gunnar?
Why is he coming out here?
He is a man of the past. Magyar Teslan never dreamed that Arthur Gunnar was alive. He just listened to Valentine’s words.
[He told me, “Can’t you give Julius just one more chance?” Those words lingered in my head.]
“… … .”
[That happened once, twice, three times. Finally, I decided to give it just one more chance.]
Valentine smiles self-deprecatingly.
[Julius must have realized that it was his last chance, because he didn’t come back after that. He must have been afraid. In the end, Julius was just another human who was afraid of me.]
Magyar’s brow furrows.
How can you have a good expression when you are openly insulting your ancestors right now?
It would be safe to say that he was angry.
It’s just hidden.
Valentine continues.

[I always keep a promise once I make it.]
“… … .”
[I decided to give him one more chance and waited. 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, he never came.]
“… … .”
[Julius was a transcendent being. Since his lifespan was different from that of a normal person, I decided to wait longer. I waited even while cursing myself and turning into a doll. After 100 years, after 200 years, I finally realized. I had trusted someone I shouldn’t have trusted.]
Magyar’s brow furrows.
“… …Why are you saying that to me?”
Valentine answered right away.
[Because your appearance now is similar to Julius’s.]
“……what?”
[Blinded by power, with vain honor eroding their spirit, and continually turning a blind eye to the promises and responsibilities of their heart that must be kept.]
Valentine’s eyes looked straight at Magyar.
[The reason the world is like this today is because of the petit bourgeois who are in charge of the lives of countless people and who wield blind power. Just like you, who rely on a corrupted spirit.]
Valentine’s eyes were the same as when I first saw them.
It was still cold and chilly.
Those eyes were gnawing at Magyar’s heart.
[I wonder what Julius’s bloodline would make him think, and it makes me realize that I am only human.]
“What… are you talking about?”
Valentine shook his head quietly.
[The age of Teslan was an age of those with vain ambitions. Now, starting with you, that age will end.]
Death sentence.
Magyar took Valentine’s words that way.
[The sole guardian of a country without a king will cut off my mistakes and correct my wrongs. If you have enjoyed it that much, then go as a king would do at least until the end.]
Valentine turned around just like that.
The back of Valentine walking away with that small body.
Magyar, who had been staring blankly, felt his sense of reason break.
Who are you?
A hero from 400 years ago? That’s ridiculous!
How dare that f*cking bitch talk such nonsense to me?
He went under the pillow of the bed in Magyar’s hand. The pillow lifted, revealing a small dagger.
The sword, with its gold decorations, was sharper than I had expected.
Magyar’s hand caught the dagger.
Magyar’s eyes continued to focus on the small doll that was walking with its back exposed.
Magyar’s feet moved. His hands moved too.
I’m going to stick this knife in that bitch’s back.
I am Tesla.
Descendants of immortal heroes, true heroes.
His hand, which had been cutting through the air, stopped with a snap.
“I told you to go like a king.”
A man with black hair.
An appearance that is so famous that even though it is the first time you see it, it feels like you see it every day.
Jack, Valantier.
His eyes are fixed on Magyar’s heart.
“It was my last chance to go comfortably without pain, and I’m throwing it away.”

Judging by the tone of voice, it seemed like he was expressing regret, but his expression did not.
Because the corners of his mouth were curled up.
Creepy as hell.
